I Will Become the Queen of the Enemy Country

It doesn’t matter where the rumors are coming from, the priority is to shut this audacious woman’s mouth.

“If you behave like this, it will harm Karan. Do you know Karan? You’re wreaking havoc and splashing black ink on Karan’s face.”

Elise found Bennet’s advice amusing. Elise, who laughed a deflated laugh, opened her mouth.

“If you ask for evidence, I can provide it. Check lot number 134 on 9th Street, and lot number 98 on 12th Street. There will be plenty of drugs. This might not be enough for you. You might argue that there is no direct connection with the Twain Family. How about I recite the rest of the evidence in front of His Majesty Tyllo?”

Lot number 134 on 9th Street, and Lot number 98 on 12th Street were places where drugs were made and stored.

The place, which was secretly operated, was a very secretive place known only to a few key personnel and the head of the family.

Of course, Bennet, who first produced the drugs, knew about it. Bennet’s lower lip trembled. She bit her lip to hide her trembling.

“Another piece of evidence?”

“Yes, another piece of evidence. Evidence to prove that…such a fact that you, Your Majesty, made the drugs that are being distributed for the first time.”

“…!”

Bennet’s mouth opened wide.

How did she know that fact? That’s a fact only my father, Alberto, knows.

Bennet could no longer deny the fact that Elise knew about her family’s disgrace.

How she found out was not important. Bennet’s mind was on the verge of exploding, thinking about how to cover this up.

“I know you’re trying to find a way out. I can tell you that method.”

Bennet, leaning on the table, suddenly raised her head. Her eyes, where blood vessels had burst due to high blood pressure, were bright red.

“I plan to cover it up quietly. If only the Twain Family would clean up their drug business and human trafficking. And one more thing, if I become His Highness Karan’s companion.”

Although she said this, Elise was determined not to forgive the atrocities committed by the Twain Family.

Once she became Karan’s companion and Karan took the throne, she was determined to expose the Twain Family’s sins to the world and punish them thoroughly.

Drugs, human trafficking.

There are no name tags on money, and money is not a criterion for judging good and evil, but there is a degree to the method of chasing money.

Those who deviate from that degree.

‘Deserve to be punished.’

Elise slowly got up.

“You’ll need time to think. But I won’t wait long. See you at my place in the afternoon.”

Elise looked down at Bennet, who was getting up.

She was a small and petite woman.

It was unbelievable that this woman was manipulating the king of Tetris at her fingertips.

‘I shouldn’t be fooled by appearances. Iris also manipulates people with an angelic face.’

“By the way, I haven’t received my welcome gift yet. I’d appreciate it if you bring a gift when you come to find me. Something meaningful that a mother-in-law gives to her daughter-in-law. I hope you don’t make a foolish choice.”

Just a 10-year difference with her mother-in-law, Elise didn’t like her relationship with Bennet.

“Wait a minute.”

It was when Elise was about to touch the doorknob. Bennet looked back at her.

“You’ve got a tremendous card, haven’t you? A card that puts the Twain Family in your hands and controls it. But you’re only going to use that card just to get permission to marry? There are bigger things.”

Bennet couldn’t understand Elise. The card Elise played could have destroyed her, gained Tyllo’s trust in an instant, won the support of the people, and firmly established Karan’s position.

But to use it just for marriage.

She seems smart, but she’s stupid.

“That.”

Elise said with a face that seemed annoyed to explain even this.

“That’s something I can get with my own power.”

Elise smiled brightly. There was a light in her face. A light made of confidence.

***

In the afternoon, Bennet, dressed up splendidly, went to find Elise. In her hand was something heavy.

“It’s a gift. Welcome to Bedrokka, Elise.”

In a place where people could see, Bennet embraced Elise. Elise opened the gift box on the spot.

A clam with a pearl was visible.

It was a representative gift that a mother-in-law gives to her daughter-in-law in Tetris.

Because it contained the meaning of wishing for fertility and harmony between the couple. Therefore, it was a gift that could only be exchanged in a family that allowed marriage.

“It’s so beautiful, Your Majesty. I will cherish it.”

Elise made a face as if she didn’t know what to do with such overwhelming joy.

On the surface, the two people were friendly.

The news went around a full circle before evening. Naturally, it reached Tyllo’s ears.

He immediately called Bennet.

“You gave a gift to the woman of Bedrokka.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“And that too, a clam with a pearl. You wouldn’t be unaware of its meaning?”

Bennet didn’t have a mother-in-law to receive it, but it didn’t mean she didn’t know the meaning.

“I know.”

“Does it mean you will allow Karan’s marriage?”

“From the beginning, it’s not something that reflects my will, Your Majesty. I just expressed my opinion because I care for Karan as if he were my son.”

As always, Bennet humbled herself in front of Tyllo.

“I know your heart. It would be good if Karan understood even half of your heart. He’s too narrow-minded.”

“Don’t look at him too badly, Your Majesty. How uncomfortable it must be to suddenly have a new mother-in-law and sibling. More than me, it’s Cowett…”

Bennet turned her head slightly and pretended to wipe her tears with her sleeve.

“Being so weak-hearted…That child is Karan’s only sibling. If Karan says anything to Cowett, I won’t stay still, so don’t worry. Rather, come here.”

Tyllo comforted Bennet, who was sobbing like a child, in his arms.

“I’ll make sure to Karan. You’ve given a lot of strength to Karan’s engagement.”

“Your Majesty, I hate it because it feels like flattery.”

While laughing inside, Bennet made a difficult face. Tyllo clicked his tongue, feeling sorry for her.

In Tyllo’s eyes, Bennet was a pretty wife who came to marry at a young age and gave a well-behaved son and a sturdy relative as a gift.

In addition, she was humble and did not get involved in politics at all, so Tyllo thought it was a blessing to have a wife in his old age.

Tyllo really didn’t know anything.

***

In the evening, Karan was called by Tyllo.

“Proceed with the engagement ceremony. You can prepare it yourself.”

The fact that he had to prepare his own engagement ceremony made Karan boil with anger at the treatment of Elise.

On top of that, Tyllo forced Bennet to express gratitude.

“The queen has been very worried about you.”

Nonsense.

Karan almost snickered in front of Tyllo.

Don’t believe the saying that a cat thinks about a mouse.

However, Karan was obedient in front of Tyllo. He intended to pretend to be an obedient son until the engagement ceremony was completed and Elise’s position was firmly established.

As soon as Karan left Tyllo’s room, he went to find Elise.

“It really worked out well.”

Elise was delighted like a child when she heard Karan’s story.

At the sight of her seeming sincerely welcoming their engagement, the end of Karan’s solar plexus churned.

“I’m sorry.”

“Your Highness, why are you apologizing on such a good day?”

“Because we have to prepare the engagement ceremony ourselves.”

“Rather, it worked out well. If we prepare it ourselves, we can do it our way, right?”

“There’s no such case anywhere. Sigh, give me a little time and I’ll try to persuade His Majesty.”

“No.”

Elise shook her head. Elise, who was sitting across from him, moved to Karan’s side. Elise tightly held Karan’s hand.

“Your Highness, think carefully. My existence itself is unusual in Tetris. So it’s not strange for me to prepare the engagement ceremony. It’s a special event.”

To be honest, Elise was disgusted with the useless procedures and complicated ceremonies of the engagement ceremony. It would be less in Tetris than in Bedrokka, though.

And Elise needed a clear status and position in Tetris right away.

If she postponed the engagement ceremony to be treated, she would have to continue in an awkward state, neither in Bedrokka nor in Tetris.

‘I can’t do anything that needs to be done.’

There were countless things she could do as the fiancée of a prince.

Since she could use the budget of the prince’s palace together, she could borrow his money on the surface and do relief work and also carry out educational projects.

“But still…”

“Your Highness, I wish to become your fiancée as soon as possible.”

Karan’s eyes flickered. Elise’s statement was intended to secure her position, but her words were enough to cause misunderstanding.

“As soon as possible?”

Karan’s voice was excited. Karan’s large hands wrapped around Elise’s waist and pulled her closer.

“Oh my, Your Highness!”

Elise found herself on Karan’s lap before she knew it. Karan seated her on one of his thighs and pushed her chin up with his fingertips.

Their eyes were now level.

For some reason, Elise found it difficult to look directly into Karan’s eyes, which were smoldering with lust. Her gaze kept falling downward.

“An engagement is a promise of marriage, you know.”

Karan whispered in Elise’s ear. His hot breath made Elise’s shoulder twitch.

Karan pressed down on her shoulder and continued.

“We are practically husband and wife already. I wonder if we really need to follow the formalities.”

“Your Highness…”

It was as Karan said. The two had already intertwined their bodies multiple times.

By the standards of Bedrokka and even by the standards of the free Tetris, they were more than just lovers.

Elise noticed the subtle signals in Karan’s eyes.

“We need to discuss the engagement ceremony, Your Highness. I need to know what budget I can work with…and also understand the culture of Tetris. And the date for the engagement ceremony…”

That’s right.

Karan sighed and rested his head on the sofa. He tried to calm the heat by exhaling deeply.

But the presence, poking at Elise’s hips, didn’t easily fade away.

“Your Highness, should I just come down if I’m causing you trouble?”

Elise also wanted to be swept away by his desire. She wanted to be held in his arms, without a care or thought, and just let out a cry.

But she had much to do.

“If I spend the night with Your Highness, it’s as good as being absent tomorrow morning.”

“No, Elise. Stay just like this.”
